The Milwaukee City Plan Commission is scheduled to consider a substitute ordinance that would temporarily pause the establishment and development of data centers in the city, according to the published agenda for its Sept. 28, 2026 meeting.
The item, listed as File No. 251924, is scheduled for a hearing at 2:10 p.m. during the Plan Commission meeting in Milwaukee, WI, according to the Legistar agenda. The ordinance is sponsored by Ald. Dimitrijevic, Ald. Brower, Ald. Stamper and Ald. Bauman, according to the published record.
The measure matters to residents because it concerns whether new data center projects can move forward in the city while the pause is in effect, according to the agenda listing. The agenda does not specify the duration of the proposed pause or additional details beyond the substitute ordinance’s title and sponsorship.
